Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

C majorC                                    FF
 Had a little love, but I spread it thin
DmDm                            G+G
 Falling in her arms and out again
C majorC                                   FF
 Made a bad name for my game around town
DmDm                              G+G
 Tore up my heart, and shut it down

C majorC
 Nothing to do
FF
 Nowhere to be
DmDm                        G+G
 A augmentedA simple little kind of free
C majorC
 Nothing to do
FF
 No one but me
DmDm                 G+G
 And that's all I need


Chorus:

           C majorC                    FF
I'm perfectly lonely
           DmDm                    G+G
I'm perfectly lonely
           E minorEm                   A minorAm
I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)
DmDm
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
G+G
Nobody belongs to me

C majorC                                    FF
I see friends around from time to time
DmDm                            G+G
When their ladies let them slip away
C majorC                                   FF
And when they ask me how I'm doing with mine

 And this is not to say
G+G
 There never comes a day
FF                               G+G    G#G#
 I'll take my chances and start again
A minorAm
 And when I look behind
G+G
 On all my younger times
FF                               F minorFm
 I have to thank the wrongs that led me to a love so strong
